I give money to Wikipedia occasionally and will gladly continue, thanks.

Wikimedia makes the world a much better world place. They should have the funds to do whatever they want.

You’re mad at them for some reason because they have 400 mil? That’s not even half a billion.

I want a world where the Wikimedia foundation is a multi-billion dollar entity.

Note that wikipedia is 99.9% the volunteers selflessly putting in their time, not the 0.1% who are getting your money.

You're implying there is something unfair going on with respect to not compensating editors. I absolutely disagree. The model is that anyone can edit, and they do so out of the love of knowledge and common wealth.

One of the strongest aspects of Wikipedia is that authors are not on anyone's payroll. (Though editing can be a competitive endeavor with monied interests occasionally involved).

All the editors of Wikipedia couldn't possibly be compensated, and no one expects that anyway.
